Georgette's Review of The Thrill of It by Lauren Blakely

Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it's the thing
that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about
love...Love isn't patient, love isn't kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every
man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that's how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call
girl by the time I started
college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I've never had either.
I controlled love, played it, and
held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I'm
being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone,
except the only guy I don't
regret.

Trey...

With all the other women, I
knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles,
they took away all the pain,
and numbed the awful memories
that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She's the only girl I ever missed when she
walked away. But now she's back in my life, every day, and there are no
guarantees for us, especially since I don't know how to tell her my secrets.
What happened to my family. All I know is she's the closest I've ever come to something real, and I want
to feel every second ofit.

Lauren Blakely writes sexy contemporary romance novels with
heat,
heart, and humor, and her books have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today, Amazon, Barnes and
Noble, and iBooks bestseller lists. Like the heroine
in FAR TOO TEMPTING, she thinks life should be filled with family,
laughter, and the kind of love that love songs promise.
Lauren lives in California with her husband, children, and dogs. She
loves hearing from readers! Her novels include Caught Up In Us,
Pretending He's Mine, Playing With Her Heart, Trophy Husband, and Far
Too Tempting. On November 21, she'll release the edgy new adult novel THETHRILLOFIT.
She also writes for young adults under the name
Daisy Whitney.

This story of Harley and Trey from Lauren Blakely is not the
normal story you’ve been looking for.

It’s dark, intense and in times such a mindfuck. Yes, that’s what I said.

To watch the growth of these characters is simply amazing!

Harley’s mother was never really good to her but Harley doesn’t
see that…not until she learns from Trey how to open her eyes. The life she’s led so far at such a tender
young age is a life that no girl should ever lead.

The dynamic within this story and these characters is amazing!
Lauren Blakely has managed to blow our minds yet again.

I gave this book 4.5 stars! I definitely recommend you read it…the
emotions you will go through in this book will blow your mind!

There’s so much more I can tell you but I’d prefer you read it
and let us know if you enjoyed as much as we did!!
